Love Song

Golden; Chrisette Michele


Take me back in the day when loving was pure
Love ain't going away, love is always cure
Life's not always perfect but love's always forever
Let's let true love connect, let's try lasting together

I'm so ready to love, I'm so ready to promise my all
I'm so ready to give to the day that my life is no more
I'll be everything that this woman could possibly be
'Cause I'm ready to be like the olden days
When commitment was golden

Be the man of my dreams and get down on one knee, love
Say you'll be all I need and then ask me to marry you, my love
Let's take two golden bands and let's walk down the isle, love
I'll say I do and you'll say I do, may good God and commitment, oh

I'm so ready to love, I'm so ready to promise my all, all
(Promise my all)
And I'm so ready to give to the day that my life is no more
(My life is no more)

I'll be everything that this woman could possibly be, yes, I will
(Possibly be)
'Cause I'm ready to be like the olden days
When commitment was golden
(Golden)

Let's last forever
Now typical American, shady love
Let's stay together
May God smile upon our everlasting lives

I'm so ready to love, I'm so ready to promise my all, yes, I am
(Promise my all)
I'm so ready to give to the day that my life is no more
(My life is no more)

And I'll be everything that this woman can possibly be, yes, I will
(Possibly be)
'Cause I'm ready to be like the olden days
When commitment was golden
(Golden)

I'm so ready to love, I'm so ready to promise my all, yeah, yeah
(Promise my all)
And I'm so ready to give to the day that my life is no more
(My life is no more)

I'ma be everything that this woman could possibly be
(Possibly be)
'Cause I'm ready to be like the olden days
When commitment was golden
(Golden)

Golden, golden, golden, golden love
Our commitment is golden

        I think that it's safe to say that these words speak for themselves. One might conclude that this poetry is similar to that of Troubador. Growing up, one might say that I was a "hopeless romantic," loving the very idea of a "perfect love." Like many of us I grew up with a fairy tale of how Love should be, a Medieval courtly love if you will, the prince coming to rescue the damsel in distress as they live a life of reverie. Golden encompasses every nuance in such a love. I'm still that hopeless romantic and I still believe in that "fairy tale" love. Fairy tales are nothing more than an ignored reality and Chrisette Michele does an exceptional job of delivering the Hopeless Romantic's Anthem. 

Enjoy.
